    Summary

    Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”

    “Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”

    “Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”

    “Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”

    Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

    Summary

    “Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”

    “Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”

    “Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”

    “Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”

    Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

    Summary

    “You said I was bad at managing my time between my girlfriend and my best friend but you’re basically doing the same thing.”

    Girlfriend?!” Will spits out, thoroughly shell-shocked.

    “I don’t get it! You could’ve told me you had a crush on someone, I would’ve—and when did you ever talk to Robin? You move to California and all of a sudden you’ve got all these girls hanging off of you and you’re interested in older girls—“ Mike’s voice embarrassingly cracks. He decides to quit while he’s ahead before he delves into the forbidden.

    In the wake of the apocalypse, Mike and Will find their way to each other.
